Good Advice for Hot Weather.-An OK.
ohange has the following sensible observations on
The subject Of how to live in hot weather:
The heated term has como, and with il many
severe trials to all, but many more to those who
borrow trouble by worry and furry. And, strange
as 1t may seem, very many thus multiply the dis
comforts of hot weather. They often manage
with little or no provocation, to worry and furry
themselves into violent Precipitation before they
iairiy begin their days duties, and then it is
worry and furry and trouble until the day is
spent.
Everybody can't maintain the equanimity of
both temperament and effort that is necessary to
reasonable comfort in hot weather; but they
should study to do the best they can. Above all,
they should keep their tempers cool, and bring
all their philosophy to guide them in their labors
good temper is the first requisite for doing q
good days work in hot weather with any degree
OF comfort, and when the temper breaks, the day
is made doubly oppressive by the hotter within
than the hot without. 1t is worry and furry all
the time, and that precudes relief from the in
tensity of the season.
"The more you have to do in hot weather the
more calmly and intelligently it should be under
TAKEN The same rule should be applied in all
seasons; but it is necessity in the heated term
The man or woman who is hurried at breakfast

the little things he she is certain to forget usu
ally ends the morning effort to get to work by a
heating run for train, and they begin the day
In much worse condition than the sensible, phil
osophical nan or woman would end it after hard
days work. They never cool off they are hot
outside, inside and all around. They take beer
soda water, ice water or ice cream as they suppose
10 temper the heat but only to overload the stom-
ach and add to their discomfort. The person who
starts wrong on hot day, never gets entirely out
OF the worry ard furry of the blunder
After dongthe best that is possible to avoid all
worry and furry about beginning work in hot
weather, the most important thing to avoid dis
comfort, is Incorporate eating and drinking. All
specially heating food, such as strong meats,
should be rejected and fresh vegetables should be
used freely, but all eating should be in modera-
a.on. And drinking should be wisely restrained.
The less people drink of anything in hot weather,
water ice Tasf Jill FEEL Drinking beer soda
is q mistake. All must drink at times, but the
excessive use of water, or substitutes for water,
in hot weather, is much q matter of habit, and is
easily restrained with care. Drinking ice water
or beer does not cool the blood, unless used in
great moderation; while the excessive drinking
that is SO common with many in hot weather, only
multipes heat and general discomfort. The best
possible protection against oppressive heat, when
persons must be exposed to it, is in eating, drink
ing and exercising with severe moderation, and
people who have mastered the simple science of
moderation never worry or furry.
at is always wise for persons to avoid exposure
to the hot sun during the heated term, but that is
not always possible Men as well as women who
are not accu;tomed to exposure, shoxld always
use umbrellas for their protection. 1t is simply
exercising sense to do so, for it is the duty
of all to keep as cool as possible. Those who
must be exposed to the hot sun because their
abors require it, can protect themselves by res
pecting the same common sense rules which de-
mand avoidance Of all needless exposure. The
man who is used to ut-door labors, can protect
his head by so simple thing as leaf of cabbage
q patch Of linen, or what is simpler and quite as
good give free circulation to air between the head
andtop the hat Nobody is suddenly sunstruck
without admonition, and most sunstrokes are the
result of deranged system that makes the person
an easy victim to the heat. When people feel the
discomfort of disordered head or stomach in hot
weather. it is notice that exposure to the sun is an
invitation to sunstorke, and those who don't re-
treat in time defy common sense. Reasonable
care will protect healthy persons from serious
peril or discomfort in hot weather. Keep cool in
mind and body if possible; if not, keep cool as
you can and the one thing most important to
learn is never to worry or furry"
